Diverse coalitions hold great potential for social movements, but they also face tremendous challenges. In this article, I review the literature on diverse alliances with a focus on how trust, commitment, and ultimately, solidarity can be developed and sustained across divides. The article begins by discussing the needs of diverse alliances to build trust and commitment, and the coalitional characteristics deemed vital for doing so, with a focus on shared neutral space, ongoing interaction, and social ties and bridgebuilders. Five coalitional processes and practices are identified and discussed that have been empirically found or theorized to be imperative for cultivating solidarity across difference and inequality. These processes include (a) uniting around shared principles while engaging difference; (b) acknowledging and managing inequalities; (c) making space for each other; (d) attention to managing conflicts; and (e) actions that confirm the shared commitments and negotiated identity. I conclude by evaluating the state of research on developing and sustaining alliances across divides.

建立联盟并在差异和不平等之间团结起来

多元化的联盟在推动社会运动方面具有巨大的潜力，但它们也面临着巨大的挑战。在本文中，我将回顾有关不同联盟的文献，重点关注如何信任，承诺以及最终的团结可以跨越鸿沟而发展和维持。本文首先讨论了各种联盟建立信任和承诺的需求，以及为此目的至关重要的联盟特征，重点是共享的中性空间，持续的互动，社会纽带和桥梁建设者。确定并讨论了五种联盟过程和实践，这些过程和实践是根据经验发现或理论上对于在差异和不平等之间培养团结必不可少的。这些过程包括：（a）围绕共同的原则团结一致，同时寻求差异；（b）承认和处理不平等现象；（c）互相腾出空间；（d）注意处理冲突；（e）确认共同承诺和协商身份的行动。
